Hi Dee,

Birth certificate for Mary Elizabeth Brownridge, daughter of William Brownridge and Ann Atkinson came yesterday with (at last) a useful address!
She was born at 5 Back Clarence St, Halifax in June 1854.

At 3 Back Clarence in 1851 there was a John Holdsworth,wife Mary, plus children John Lconard, Zillah, Sarah Ann and Mary Emma.
Woo hoo - This family was on Nether Green Leeds in 1841, next door to Mary Atkinson the washerwoman, daughter Ann and others - the ones listed in reply 27 of this very long thread!

Yorkshire bmds have a marriage in 1838 for John Holdsworth to Mary Atkinson at St Peters Leeds. So I'm now confident that Ann Brownridge nee Atkinson and Mary Holdsworth nee Atkinson are sisters, and Mary Atkinson the washerwoman is their mother.

Which means that  the laundress on parish relief in 1851 is our Mary Atkinson, born c. 1786 in Adel. She is still alive in 1861, in Halifax with a William Atkinson (another son?) and grandchild Mary Emma Holdsworth.

Sooo... possible connection with Adel?  Erm - where is Adel?
